If you accidentally drop your phone in a toilet, the last thing you want is for it to be an old-fashioned one with a pool that is emptied only a few times a year.

If you accidentally drop your phone in a toilet, the last thing you want is for it to be an old-fashioned one with a pool that is emptied only a few times a year.

That’s exactly what happened to Cato Berntsen Larsen in Norway – he fell in the toilet trying to retrieve his phone. “I was clearly weak enough to get in there, but not strong enough to get out,” he told VG reporters.

“First I tried to pick up the phone with a stick, but it didn’t work. So I jumped in. I sat down there for an hour, I panicked, “he added, adding that he felt” animals “climbing on his body.

Firefighters came and cut the entire toilet and took out the 20-year-old man after an hour. He was taken to the hospital and given antibiotics.
